"Come in," said a voice from within. She entered the room. It was not the Marquis of Clameran who stood in the middle of the room, but a young man, almost a youth, who bowed to Mme. Fauvel with a singular expression on his handsome face. Mme. Fauvel thought that she had mistaken the room. "Excuse me, monsieur," she said, blushing deeply. "I thought that this was the Marquis of Clameran's room."
"Who is going to look for him?" "I am." "Oh, oh, oh!" exclaimed Raoul in three different tones. Clameran's audacity confounded him. "But what am I going to do?" he inquired after a moment's silence. "You will oblige me by remaining here and keeping quiet. I will send you a despatch if there is danger; and then you can decamp." As they parted at Raoul's door, Clameran said: "Now, remember.

Why had she been made to tell this unnecessary lie? She suspected the snare laid for her; but now it was too late to escape it: struggles would only more deeply entangle her in its meshes.
Raoul went upstairs. Clameran's last injunction to Raoul was: "Be very cautious when you enter the room; your appearance must tell everything, so you can avoid preliminary explanations." The recommendation was useless. The instant that Raoul went into the little salon, the sight of his pale, haggard face and wild eyes caused Mme. Fauvel to spring up with clasped hands, and cry out: "Raoul!
You will say with me, 'Success is certain." Louis de Clameran's scheme was very simple, and therefore unfortunately presented the strongest chances of success. "We will go back and look at our balance-sheet. As heretofore, my brilliant nephew, you seem to have misunderstood my management of this affair; I will now explain it to you." "I am listening."
